Four ID Formats, One Tool

Different projects reach for different ID formats — a classic random UUID, a timestamp-ordered UUID v7 for database-friendly sorting, a compact ULID, or a URL-safe NanoID. This tool covers all four with the same bulk-generation and formatting controls, so switching formats mid-project doesn't mean switching tools.

How to Use This Tool

  1. 1Pick an ID typeUUID v4 (fully random), UUID v7 (timestamp-ordered), ULID, or NanoID.
  2. 2Set a countGenerate a single ID or up to 1,000 at once.
  3. 3Choose a formatWith or without hyphens, upper/lowercase, and optionally wrapped in quotes for pasting straight into code or SQL.
  4. 4Copy or downloadCopy everything at once, copy a single ID, or download the full list as .txt or .csv.

Good to Know

  • UUID v7 sorts chronologically since it embeds a timestamp, which makes it a better fit than v4 for database primary keys where insert order matters for index performance.
  • ULID and NanoID are both shorter and more URL-friendly than a standard UUID, which is why they show up often in modern web app IDs (short links, session tokens).
  • Every ID is generated using the browser's cryptographically secure random number generator (Web Crypto), not Math.random().
  • Nothing generated here is sent anywhere or stored — refreshing the page clears everything.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the actual difference between UUID v4 and v7?

v4 is 122 bits of pure randomness, so IDs have no inherent order. v7 embeds a 48-bit millisecond timestamp at the start, so IDs generated later always sort after ones generated earlier — useful for database indexes that perform better with roughly-sequential keys.

Is a ULID compatible with UUID fields in a database?

Not directly as text — a ULID is 26 Crockford-Base32 characters, not the standard 36-character hyphenated UUID format. Some databases store it as a 128-bit binary value instead, sidestepping the format difference.

How many IDs can I generate at once?

Up to 1,000 per click — reasonable for seeding test data without freezing the browser tab.

Are these truly unique?

Collision probability is astronomically low for all four types here, generated using the browser's cryptographic random number source — the same guarantee any UUID library provides.
